Really would like to hear some real world experience with this new atv! John has any been sold and delivered yet? Tell me, is there a safety mechanism in place to make sure the reveres shifter cannot be pulled back while it is going forward. Just by the pictures it's not too clear on this.

Hopefully they are better than the 06 150's. The 06 needs improvements.

The first ones got here last week. Im not sure if they have sold any yet.
2manytoys, I got to see one of these last friday when i picked up my 250. Its a huge improvement over the '06 model. Its basically the same quad as the 250 with a different engine, smaller tires and the same front shocks as last year. This one should be able to jump with the best of them.

MWQ, have you had a chance to ride your new 250? Don't forget some pictures. How about a video? Are you now more impressed with the production 250? Do they have all colors of the 150 and 250 in?

I have a concern after reading a few of these posts. I purchased an 06 Jetmoto 150 this last spring for my son. I have not really had any problems with it, am pleased with Raceway's service, and we have been having a lot of fun riding it this past year. I now hear that the 06 is not that good of a quad and the 07 is so much better. Well back in 06 it the 06 was so much better than the 05. I wonder if one was to by an 07 that in 08 will they find out that it is not that good and the 08 is much much better. Is this typical? I know that Jetmoto is trying to increase the quality of their product but will they ever get there? I never hear that last years Honda, Yamaha, ... model was not that good and this years is so much better. I know that they make improvements based on technology but rarely because something was so incorrect with the prior years model. Sorry, it just puzzled me to read what is being said.

Well I know the consensus of most ATVers is that Chinese ATV's are junk. So to have each new year increase dramatically is a great thing. I would be more worried if they did not change for the better. Now just by looks alone I think the Jetmotos are closer then any Chinese ATV has been before to the quads you would buy from the big 4. Still they may have a ways to go so if I buy 07's and in 08 they are leaps ahead I will just have to be happy that my 07's are still the fun quads they were when I bought them (hopefully) or sell and buy the new 08 and enjoy the latest they have to offer!

outofline, i havnt had a chance to ride it yet but am going to tomorrow. The suspension is much improved from the prototype. Stiffer spring rates and noticable damping control in the shocks. The only obvious thing that didnt get changed was the countershaft sprocket. Its still a 17 tooth and im pretty sure a 15 would be best.
BwHntr, I wouldnt say the 06 Was a bad quad, but the '07 is a much better quad. As for the '08 being even better I dont think that is in the plans. The next big improvement to Jetmoto's will be a plastic upgrade. That will probubly happen around the release of the '08 models. Depending on when you got your 150 last year there could have been upgrades you missed or got. Jetmoto doesnt wait for the next model year to make a improvement. There were improvements made to the Jetmoto quads for every new shipment/order. i believe there were 4 different changes (and a couple of mods per change) within the '06 year. you have to remember that Jetmoto is only about 4 years old and has improved their products imensely since i got involved with them about 10 months ago. Did this answer any of your concerns?

Is the sprocket something that can be bought locally at a motorcycle dealer or is it a specific Jetmoto part? Im guessing no shorting of the chain would be needed to do this?

The front shocks are way softer and better rebound. We have one of each (06 07) sitting right next to each other.

Chopper, you own both a 06 and an 07 Jetmoto 150? How would say the 07 preforms against the 06? Is the revers shifter in the way of your leg while riding, it looks like it may be? Would you say the 07 feels close in build quality to a big 4 quad? Do you prefer the new revers trans over the block on the rear axle?

The sprocket will be available from Jetmoto for anyone who buys a 250. The chain is ridiculously tight as delivered and the smaller sprocket will help this. One thing I noticed about the 250, and I would think the 150 and 200 have it also. It uses a sealed gel type battery. Im not going to miss filling batteries with electrolite at all. You can also tell that some one else is making the electrical connections. Much nicer plug in style ends.

Do you get the feeling this battery will be better then all the other Chinese batteries that everyone advises to just replace at set up? So the gear is not a universal type fit that can be bought anywhere?

The 07 is a much improved quad. The revo box a big improvement, it does have a neutral (I think is a great addition). I am short so the lever is not in my way. I feel with the new shocks and frame Jetmoto is getting very close to the big 4.

I am still using my stock Jetmoto batteries. They are about 10 mos old now. Time will tell on the new style battery. I do know it costs a little more than the other battery, so it should last longer. If I were to guess I would think a sprocket off a early 80's Yamahe would work. Ill compare it to my honda sprockets later today. Chopper400ex, Does it roll easilly in neutral?

I think this Jetmoto 150 could be just the quad for my 10 year old son, who has been riding a heavily modified Raptor 80 since he was 5. Check out my pix. I could put him on a 250 Phoenix or Can-Am Rally, but I think they are too heavy, and the Can-Am is a little tippy. He has ridden everything, even a Hawkeye, but I am concerned about the weight. At 314 lbs and 43" wide this little Jetmoto 150 could be just the thing for my 80 lb son. Is there an electronic speed control like I am seeing on a lot of new minis? I find it incredible that adults are riding these by the way. The new CPSC age guidelines are going to allow this type of ATV for kids as long as they are speed controlled.
My older son wants me to stick a different engine in the Raptor 80, since we did so much work to the chassis and suspension, widening it by 10 inches, with full Works shocks, increasing travel from 2" to 7". It was in ATV Action back in Sept of 2002. But the boy wants reverse, and an automatic transmission.....I understand, my new Renegade is going to make my DS jealous.

MWS,
I talked with John and he told me that a larger "rear" sprocket was available for anyone who bought the 250. I agree that the chain is tight and I wouldnt be able to fit a larger rear without extending the chain. A smaller front would be a much better solution. I do agree that the 250 needs to be geared down. As it is 4th gear is nearly useless, since you need to be going about 50+ mph to use 4th or it will lug. A lower 1st and 2nd will help low speed climbing.
Can you verify that a smaller front is available vice a larger rear?
Thanks

I know that a 15 tooth front sprocket is available because its the same as the 200 Enduro. A 14 comes on the '06 200 quad also but that might be to small. Or real good for slow trail riding.

I just ordered two 150 sport Jetmotos. I am a Polaris, Suzuki and Can-Am dealer, and am quite frankly dissapointed with their offerings in this segment. They are way too heavy for one thing. The Phoenix and Rally are 50 lbs heavier than a Z-400, as are most of the quads in this technically challenged segment. So I am going to try JetMoto and see what they are like. As I am out here in Silver City New Mexico, there isn't much chance of me seeing one of these without buying one, so I am going to take the plunge.
Does anyone have any experience with these at altitude? We are at 6,000 ft elevation and rejetting is pretty much a given. I understand that these have Japanese carburators, so that should be a really big plus.
Our Polaris Phoenix's have given us fits with thier weird chinese carburators. We have actually soldered and redrilled some of these jets to get them to run up here.

fourlix, will you please give us your review of your new 150's. Are they to resell or for you to ride? We have been having a hard time getting anyone to reply on any real riding reviews of this new quad.
